SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,286, dated November5, 1889.

Application led July l2, 1889. Serial No. 317,344. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom; it may concern.-

Be it known that. I, JOHN A. CAEMrcHoEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Primghar, in the county of OBrien and State of Iowa, haveinvented a new and useful Haine-Tug, of which the following is aspeciiication.

The invention relates to improvemellts in hame-tugs.

The object of the present invention is to provide a hame-tug of simpleand cheap construction, adapted for light and heavy harness, and capableof vertical and horizontal movement, and of having the parts whichreceive the wear readily removed when worn and replaced by new ones.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination andarrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a haineprovided with a tug embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a centralvertical longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionalview.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by letter, A designates a haine,which is provided upon its rear side with a pair of eyebolts B, arrangeda suitable distance apartand designed to form bearings for a plate towhich a trace D is attached. The plate C is provided upon opposite edgesnear the front with vertically-disposed journals c', which engage theeyes of the bolts B, and the said plate has a central opening c2, inwhich is arranged a bushing E, which receives the wear,

and which may, when it has become Worn, be removed and replaced by a newone.

The end of the trace D is recessed at d and is provided with parallelside plates F, one of which lies in the recess cl, and said plates F arebolted, riveted, or similarly secured to the trace and project beyondthe end thereof, and are provided with perforations f, through whichpasses a bolt G, which also passes through the opening e in the bushingE, thereby securing the plate C between the parallel plates F. By thisconstruction the trace is vertically movable on the plate C and thelatter is horizontally movable in the eyebolts B, thereby producing ahame-tug capable of permitting the parts to be moved both vertically andhorizontally.

From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings theconstructiomoperation, and advantages of the invention will readily beunderstood.

What I claim is- The combination of a hame provided with eyebolts, theplate C, provided with journals engaging said eyebolts and having acentral opening, the bushing arranged in the central opening, a traceprovided with parallel side plates having perforations, and aboltpassing through the perforations and the bushing, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
